Tired of the Swell
Shortly after my update yesterday, we had to douse the spinnaker. We had squalls during the night and really choppy seas with large sloppy swells close together hitting us on the beam. We've been slamming side to side with sails slapping and snapping for over 24 hours. I'm so sick of these sea conditions! Why can't this be the flat smooth downwind trip we hoped for? The weather report shows our conditions will continue until Thursday. 20-25 knots of wind, squalls, and large swells. It's exhausting.
